ConfigBox

A Box with additional handling of string manipulation generally found in config files.

test_config.ini

[General]
example=A regular string

[Examples]
my_bool=yes
anint=234
exampleList=234,123,234,543
floatly=4.4

With the combination of reusables and ConfigBox you can easily read python config values into python types. It supports list, bool, int and float.

import reusables
from box import ConfigBox

config = ConfigBox(reusables.config_dict("test_config.ini"))
# <ConfigBox: {'General': {'example': 'A regular string'},
# 'Examples': {'my_bool': 'yes', 'anint': '234', 'examplelist': '234,123,234,543', 'floatly': '4.4'}}>

config.Examples.list('examplelist')
# ['234', '123', '234', '543']

config.Examples.float('floatly')
# 4.4
